<p>Do you understand that if you go to a CC first then you won’t need to borrow nearly as much since your first two years will not incur debt?</p>
<p>If your parents won’t co-sign big loans or take out Plus loans, you’re stuck anyway. Besides, that is way too much debt to take on…and NOT necessary.</p>
<p>It is VERY unlikely that you’d earn enough after graduation to pay back large loans. Do you have any idea of what you’d be earning upon graduation??? You’re talking about borrowing $25k+ per year. You won’t earn enough to pay all that debt back.</p>
<p>Going to a CC for 2 years first will give your family 2 years to figure out how to pay for your last 2 years of college. Over the next 2 years, work as much as you can saving for your last 2 years. Work full time during the next 2 summers.</p>
<p>I know this is disappointing, but when your family filled out FAFSA, it clearly asks about assets and you neglected to mention the rental - for some unknown reason. </p>
<p>you need to withdraw from UCSC. you will NOT have to pay for your housing there. That contract is only for attending students.</p>
